@candlesan01: The Prophet Skeram is the first raid boss in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, a raid instance in the original vanilla WoW. I focused on Skeram's two signature abilities, Mind Control and the Mirror Image for this video. His Arcane Explosion was intended to be general raid-wide damage that would be overwhelming if he ever split into 5. His Earth Shock was a light nod towards the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj favoring guilds that had Nature Resist, but since this is the first boss of the instance we didn't want to have a hard Nature Resist fight right off the bat. #gamedesign #wow #blizzardstory

I'm probably alone here, but I much prefer this kind of boss design than the absolute mess and chaos we have on retail.

I think it actually makes the design stronger if players can use creative methods to identify the copies

The pride and joy of my wow career was achieving something other guilds hadn't even considered on the fight Dark Animus in Throne of Thunder. We had a healer that was frankly not good enough to heal the fight with the raid composition most guilds relied on to make the rather tight dps check at the time in 10 man heroic. I asked a very simple question: what if we just didn't dps the adds at all and funneled everything straight into the boss's face? Sat there for hours into the night doing math in Google docs to figure out a way to extend the duration of the fight as long as possible without having to dps adds directly. We figured out that we could use demonology warlocks doom spell and a brewmaster tank's vengeance mechanic to do absurd dps to the boss by stacking adds together. We ended up being the first guild in the world to kill it with what became known as the zerg strategy.

Some sort of goat :
The fact that “Thing going towards boss before it splits still goes towards after the split” is STILL happening in Midnight (Lothraxion) is crazy

Isn’t this also an example of the technical side of the game not being able to fully support the design vision? Most of the issues you describe are implementation details.

If you mark the boss with a raid mark, it stays on the real skeram when he splits
